    2005 Chevy 2500HD weekender expedition_light build.

    Is the water tube just PVC pipe? My garden hose (150') makes red hot water in just and hour of sun. All of our trucks have feathering and uneven wear. Tires must be rotated every 10k for street/rain tires. And every 5k for MT's. Reasons why: -impossibly bad ackerman settings on all...

    Just pull and clean or replace the egr. That was the source of my 6.0 failures.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    It's not fear of anything. We travel, you don't. If you had more real time experience, you'd understand the need to be prepared. I had to blast a meth head in the face with bug spray last week. A girl would have needed to shoot him. Places like California and Oregon promote crime and...

    A friend of mine uses magnets. But empty chamber, since they're striker fired. I've just switched to IWB, almost small of the back 5o'clock so that sitting isn't so bad. I'm not too comfortable with off body carry, except for the shotgun and carbine.

    Bull, and you know it. I don't take gun advice from someone that supports child rape and terrorism.

    First time traveling with my two toddlers

    Tie a yellow blanket to them, stuff them in a dog carrier, and check them into cargo as golden retrievers. I love flying.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I can find 100 other sources and you know it. In this case, there is nothing political about it. Those are just the immigrant violent crimes. Try an overlay with German crimes as well, and it's even worse. And if you consider that most crime complaints don't even get investigated over...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    They like getting stabbed a lot, in Germany: https://www.thelocal.de/20180327/string-of-knife-attacks-further-fuels-debate-over-refugees-and-violence I have to question the opinion of someone who's country likes violent crime, and invites it in. And is heck bent on increasing it every...

    Stuck Expedition Truck - how to recover - discussion

    Looks like you have to get that wheele out of the hole first. Jack that wheel out, if it's strong enough to jack on. Then just winch it back upright. I'd put my spare on then, incase we damaged that wheel. Maybe a wrecker could flip it back over without that. Or just spend 4 months...

    FWC; major design changes, issues, and value?

    Absolutely badarse. But I wish they had a more modern look, paint scheme. (I like Camplights gray/black) And for $30,000, I wish they were hard side pop ups like the alaskan campers. I'm in a very wet moldy place.

    Opinions wanted: Harbor Frieght Engine Hoist - 1 ton verses 2 ton

    The two ton is only a half ton, extended. And it'll always be extended.

    Starting with stock 2010 Ford F150 FX4...

    Phasers, tensioners, chains, are $2500-ish. Not cheap, but not outrageous. The 6.2 has a different design, hopefully it's better.

    Trouble with a Compression Boot between the Topper and Cab

    I'd just put a window in, or wall it in.

    Ecodiesel as a short-distance commuter? Issues?

    The OEM's designed the diesels any way they could. How it pans out in the real world is another story. The 6.0 for example, was tortured before it's release. As usual, those engineering tests are nearly useless. Noone expected it to be made of glass. People are banging on their door for...

    Ecodiesel as a short-distance commuter? Issues?

    The 5.0 F150 is far faster, than an F150 has any right going. I'd go with the cheaper, easier, 5.0. Get as much gear as available. Or be prepared to regear if you go with larger tires. And don't overlook that an 6.2L F250 costs less than an F150 fairly often.

    Ecodiesel as a short-distance commuter? Issues?

    Yes. Short distance commuter = gasoline. Diesel is a bad idea. My truck has the same issue. I only need diesel power twice a year. The rest of the time, gasoline is superior in every way. (Getting Pizza at 9pm with 4 feet of snow on the ground, trip time less than 15 min) So I...
